We call on all prospective authors and researchers to participate in this years’ special issue to be published in the Journal of Economic and Financial Sciences (JEF).

THEME: Wars and pandemics: Economic and financial consequences.

Introduction:
Since World War I, we have endured several major global economic downturns like the Great depression in 1929 and the Global financial crisis in 2008. These major events are mainly due to external shocks such as a market crash, credit crunch, bursting bubbles, pandemics or wars. During and after these events, the world change and restores to a new order, which has economic and financial consequences. The Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine have caused uncertainty across the globe. Although wars and pandemics are not new phenomena, these two events have significant economic and financial consequences for the modern globalised world of today.
